  • Jill Biden’s ex admits he had affair with Robert Durst’s wife — days before she vanished

    Jill Biden’s ex-husband revealed that he had an intimate relationship with the first wife of accused killer and New York real estate heir Robert Durst — just 10 days before she vanished in 1982. Bill Stevenson, who was married to the first lady from 1970 to 1975, said in an interview with News 12 Westchester that he decided to open up about the affair for the first time because of Durst’s failing health and ongoing trial. “I feel like I’m the missing link in this case,” Stevenson, a concert hall owner from Delaware, told the outlet’s Tara Rosenbloom.
  • Who Was Poppin’ Champagne Aboard The Clinton Campaign Plane?

    One of the juicier bits to come out since Tuesday— the most stunning electoral collapse in the entire history of the United States, mind you — is that smug Hillary aides literally popped champagne aboard the campaign plane on Election Day. You could understand if some low-level staff did something foolish like this, but if you’re on the plane, you are senior-level staff. So this gives insight into just how deluded these people were, at the highest levels. Let’s pause and note that the Clinton campaign and their media allies are supposed to be the most amazingly “data-oriented” operators of all time....

    Hillary Clinton's aides were so sure she would win that they reportedly popped champagne on the campaign plane on Election Day. Hours later, instead of becoming the nation's first female president as polls had predicted, Clinton suffered one of the most stunning political defeats in history, and Donald Trump became the new president-elect.

    An agreement by federal party leaders to steer clear of Blue Jays games until Canadians vote on Oct. 19 drew giggles and guffaws from baseball fans after Sunday’s game. “I guess they’re bad luck,” Taylor Marr, 25, said with a laugh. The Grimsby man was surprised to hear the Jays had lost recently in games when Tom Mulcair, Stephen Harper, and Justin Trudeau were in the stands. “That’s crazy, they always win now; they never lose,” he said, shaking his head. But if keeping the Jays winning means Harper, Mulcair, and Trudeau have to avoid the stadium, so be it....

    Real estate heir Robert Durst was arrested Saturday in New Orleans on murder charges, his attorney said Sunday. Durst was taken into custody around 11 p.m. local time. He is being held on a first degree warrant out of Los Angeles County by the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office. Durst’s attorney, Chip Lewis, told KTRK that Durst will not fight extradition to Los Angeles. He hopes to get Durst in front of a magistrate judge in New Orleans tomorrow to start the extradition charges and plans to fight the charges in Los Angeles. Durst, 71, is the subject of an HBO...

    There is a disturbing trend developing with President Obama that not only relates to Democrats but to everyone and everything in the country. There is no other way to explain it other than the "Obama Jinx". In the recent past every time the President has thrown his support to someone or something disaster strikes and more often than not failure and defeat follow. As proof you can look at the failed Democratic elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and Massachusetts. In each case Obama lends his support and they lose. One may also look at what happened when he tried to...

    Jenson Button could end up with a female team-mate before very long. His Honda boss has offered talks to pint-sized American racer Danica Patrick after she made history in the Indy Racing League series. Patrick made her IndyCar debut in 2005, however, it was not until three years later, driving for Andretti Green Racing, that she claimed her first victory, winning the Indy Japan 300 and thereby becoming the first woman to win an IndyCar race. The American is now hoping to test her skills in Formula One, admitting that she would relish a ‘proper’ test with one of the...

    Tony Romo Didn't Impress New Flame Jessica Simpson NEW YORK (CBS) ― You could say that Jessica Simpson wasn't a good luck charm for Dallas Cowboy star Tony Romo. Simpson, Romo's new girlfriend, was sitting in a luxury box with Romo's parents rooting for her man while wearing a pink Dallas Cowboy's jersey with his number (#9) on it. Romo, whose ex- girlfriend is Carrie Underwood, played terribly in their final home game before the playoffs, a 10-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Romo was 13-of-36, for 214 yards, with a career-low passer rating of 22.2. Ironically, Romo's worst rating...

    Judges reviewing auto-emission rules should consider California jinx This week U.S. District Judge Anthony Ishii held the California Air Resources Board in abeyance from enforcing new vehicular tail-pipe emission standards for greenhouse gases until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on a related global warming case. The issue catapulted into Judge Ishii's court after a California Central Valley auto dealership and the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers sued the state. At issue is whether the rule is a de facto mandate on fuel-economy standards, which must be set by the federal government. http://www.pe.com/ap_news/California/CA_Auto_Emissions_271190C.shtml Like the phrase from the movie and novel...

    New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) has long been rumored as desperately seeking the democratic nomination for president in 2008. And while many political observers fully expect the power hungry former First Lady to hit the campaign trail within only a few months of being re-elected as a US Senator in 2006, US News & World report claims to have a confirmation of sorts. From USNews.Com's Washington Whispers: Hillary's in… You don't have to take it from us about Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton 's desire to run for president.

"If he had not planned a visit to Albania, probably he would have not been...

    WASHINGTON - It's a New England drought second only to the Curse of the Bambino. It has been 43 years since a candidate from the Northeast won the presidency. That was Democrat John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts. Since then, just one — former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis — has won his party's presidential nomination. The Democrat lost in 1988 to George H.W. Bush. The region's White House streak still falls far short of the 85 years since the Boston Red Sox last captured the World Series and the 83 years since the team invoked the curse by trading Babe Ruth...
